UAE Calls Iran Directly on Hormuz Security After US Strikes

⚓ GULF — Abu Dhabi called Tehran directly the same day CENTCOM struck Iranian soil. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: UAE-Iran direct contact is rare and signals Abu Dhabi is hedging — it cannot afford another false alarm or real strike closing Hormuz. The call came hours after CENTCOM confirmed strikes on Iranian missile sites, voiding the MOU's no-kinetic premise. UAE is effectively asking Tehran for a private off-ramp Washington can't guarantee. Gulf states are opening bilateral channels because the US-Iran framework just cracked.
